Art 625: Design Research Readings & Seminar
Tuesday:
Watched and took notes on a design documentary called Objectified. It was a very interesting look at what several designers consider good design. Some interesting nuggets from the video include:
- design as the search for form
- creating items that stand the test of time vs objects meant to be temporary
- the idea that objects become family; our relationship with objects
- designing things that get better with use
- designers as culture generators
Thursday: Reading Discussion
